Lol, is this guy nuts? The capacity for a single-layer Blu-ray disc was increased to ~33 GB in 2010. 3 dual-layer DVDs hold ~26 GB. That's not even taking into consideration that MS reserves ~ 1 GB per disc for security purposes, so its more like ~23 GB. So yea, I guess according to this guy 23 GB is WAY more than 33 GB. Shh, don't mention the 66 GB dual-layer Blu-ray.


Blu-ray disc have not yet received that increased storage due to high failure rates.  And dont expect that increase to happen anytime soon, as trying to get the failure rates to a reasonable level arent happening.  So for now and the forseeable future,  Blu-ray discs are 25GB or 50GB.  Unless you want to count some of the prototypes that have been made and tested for years,  then they are also 100GB, 200GB, 250GB and 400GB.   

Hmm, didn't know that.  Have any links? 

Either way, his excuse is ridiculous when they still have dual-layer Blu-rays to work with.
